About Happy Days
Ayyy! You’ve just landed at Happy Days — where your animals are treated like family, and peace of mind is always part of the package. Kick back, relax… we’ve got this.
You want the best for your animals and for your life. You don't have to choose between the two.
Whether you're chasing big dreams, enjoying your freedom, or simply managing a full plate, your animals remain at the heart of it all. You want them to feel safe, loved, and truly seen — even when you can’t be there.
At Happy Days Animal Care, we help make that possible.
We're much more than just animal lovers. We provide professional, ethics-based care built on continued education, experience, and preparedness. From everyday routines to complex care needs, we bring a calm, capable presence and a high level of attention to detail.
This isn’t casual or part-time work, it’s a purpose-driven business, run by someone who’s invested in learning, growing, and supporting your animal’s health and happiness. Countless hours are spent outside of scheduled visits studying behavior, species-specific enrichment, nutrition, and emergency readiness so that we are someone you and your animals can rely on — in calm moments and in the unexpected ones.
So whether you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or simply needing backup from someone who “gets it,” I’m here to help you step away without stress or uncertainty and to make sure your companions feel not just okay, but truly supported.
You’re building a beautiful life. We're creating a world where animals are respected, honored, and loved. Let's do it together.

Hello!
I'm Kelsey, and I'm so glad you're here!
Animals and nature have always been home to me. There’s a quiet understanding between us — a mutual respect that’s hard to describe but instantly felt. That connection is what drives everything I do. I’m someone who notices the subtle things: the shift in body language, a change in routine, or that silent look from across the room. Everywhere I go, I'm connected to the animals around me. I care deeply, and I show up fully.
Happy Days Animal Care was born from a lifelong calling to support animals in the way I believe they deserve — with patience, intention, respect, and love. I’m especially passionate about helping animals who’ve been misunderstood, mistreated, or simply need more time to feel safe. I listen. I advocate. I meet them where they are, and I work to earn their trust.
This work is not just about affection — it’s about responsibility, education, and the courage to keep learning. I’ve put in years of hands-on experience, continued study, and personal growth to offer care that goes far beyond the basics. My animal-specific background includes volunteering with domestic rescues and wildlife rehab, stewarding my own sanctuary of rescued animals, and an ongoing commitment to better understanding animal behavior, nutrition, enrichment, and emotional well-being.
I also carry a deep reverence for the natural world, and that connection shapes how I move through life — with mindfulness, empathy, and integrity. If you feel that bond too, you're absolutely my kind of people.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I’d be honored to be part of you and your animals’ world.

"Kelsey was an immediate hit with our dog Bonnie and did a great, responsible job of watching, feeding, watering and playing with her and sending updates. Also, when an unexpected problem came up, she communicated right away and solved the issue. Surely will have her as first choice for any future needs."
